Qin Fangang chuckled softly. His deep-set facial features were especially alluring because of that fleeting smile. He used a calm tone and said slowly, "Many times, when you look at problems or want to control a person or a company, it's actually similar to climbing a mountain. When you stand at the foot of the mountain and look up at the top, you'll feel like you need to spend a lot of time and energy to climb up. But when you're halfway up the mountain, you'll realize that some people didn't start at the foot of the mountain, but instead started climbing from the middle of the mountain. When this kind of person first sees someone climbing up from the foot of the mountain, it'll be like a tortoise racing a rabbit. He'll always feel like he won't lose to that person who started from zero. But when that person catches up to him, he'll be much more agile than the rabbit. Of course, he'll definitely not be stupider than the rabbit. Instead, he'll be more vigilant. After all, someone who can stand halfway up the mountain definitely has some skills. At this time, if you want to compete with him to see who's faster and who'll be the first to stand at the top of the mountain, it'll depend on whether or not you'll be able to use certain skills later in the competition. "
His other free hand tapped on the big office table. "Sometimes, even if you want to win, you shouldn't try to get it in one go. It's like eating food. No matter how hungry you are, you need to know how to chew slowly. Otherwise, you'll have indigestion. "
Xin Yu was more or less a top student. How could she not understand Qin Fangang's obvious analogy?
In fact, he was telling her that he, Qin Fangang, was the person who started climbing from the foot of the mountain, while Lu Yihan, that hedonistic young master, was always standing halfway up the mountain.
Of course, all these years, Lu Yihan never realized how much of an advantage he had, which was why he didn't move forward. Because there were no threats and no opponents, he didn't feel threatened.
However, although Lu Yihan was arrogant and unruly, he wasn't completely useless. After all, he was the legitimate crown prince of the Lu Clan. There were still many people who supported him. What happened in the meeting room just now was the best proof. Among the 20 senior executives, at least 10 of them supported Lu Yihan.
If a manager wanted to stand at the top and be carefree, apart from his own ability, the other thing he needed to do was to control people's hearts.
Xin Yu couldn't help but admire this man. He was really thoughtful.
"… So, it looks like you've taken a step back, but you're actually taking a step back to advance. You're letting down Lu Yihan's guard, right?" Xin Yu thought for a moment and frowned. "You gave this project to me as part of your plan, right?"
Qin Fangang was quite satisfied with her quick comprehension, but her last question was obviously emotional. He raised an eyebrow and extinguished the cigarette in his hand. He raised his head and looked at Xinyu with a meaningful gaze.
"Do you want to hear the truth from me?"
Xinyu was stunned. She felt that his gaze was too intense and she instinctively avoided it. "… If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. Just like what you said, in this industry, there's no one who isn't selfish."
"Do you think I'm selfish towards you?"
"…"
"Xin Yu, raise your head and look at me." Qin Fangang slowly stood up and placed his hands on the table. His tall and straight body leaned slightly towards Xin Yu. The smell of smoke drifted past her nose. "Your performance in the meeting room just now was reasonable. I'll give you 60 points, which is a pass. But in terms of feelings, I won't give you a single point. "
Xin Yu's tightly pursed lips moved slightly. She seemed a little confused. The moment her eyes flashed, Qin Fangang had already reached out and gently lifted her chin. The corners of his sexy lips curled up. His eyes were full of emotions that Xin Yu couldn't understand, but she was also afraid of.
"That's because my good student has a high level of comprehension. Although she's always bashful in front of me, she still remembers how to control her own position no matter what the critical moment is. It's indeed an important factor to be able to survive in the business world."
He paused for a moment. His slightly rough thumb gently brushed against her smooth jaw. With a throbbing warmth, he said, "But, on the other hand, I'm a little disappointed. I thought you would choose me."
Xin Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Qin Fangang had already retracted his fingers. All the emotions on his face disappeared in an instant. It was as if the man who always seemed to be flirting with her emotions just now had never existed.
He pointed at Xin Yu's injured hand and said, "You don't have to stay in the company in the afternoon. Go to the hospital to treat your wound."
"No need …"
"The table in the meeting room was custom-made. The paint wasn't used for long. Go to the hospital to disinfect it."
Xinyu bit her lips. She felt a little awkward. Why did it sound like he purposely emphasized the word 'disinfection' when he said it?
"I can follow up on this project, but I want to make a request of you."
"Say it."
Xin Yu organized her words and then said the thought that just flashed through her mind, "I just came to the company. Actually, other than you, no one else can help me. However, I can't follow you all day long. Moreover, you must have a lot of things to do. I want to ask you for someone. I have a good relationship with her in private. If she helps me, it will be easier to communicate with her when the time comes."
Qin Fangang nodded. "Mu Chenchu?"
Xin Yu looked at him in surprise. Her gaze was probably asking — how did you know?
Qin Fangang chuckled and said in a firm tone, "Your affairs are basically written on your face. How hard can it be to find out?"
"…"
"I promise you. I'll ask her to come up and help you with this project." Qin Fangang agreed readily. "After work tonight, let her know. The two of you can go to Shengguang together. I'll wait for you there."
"Shengguang?" Xin Yu frowned. "Isn't that a nightclub?"
"The most important place to do business is your so-called nightclub."
Qin Fangang pointed at the folder in her hand and explained, "Since this project is related to the government, you should remember that when we were in B City, we also owned a piece of land. It was because I knew the owner of the land that I was able to get an extra 2%. It just so happens that we still need this intermediary for this project to be foolproof."
Xin Yu recalled that at that time, Qin Fangang did mention — the Su family?
She had just returned to D City, so she naturally did not know much about the political scene in D City. However, she still knew who the current Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee was. He seemed to be from the Su family …
Qin Fangang, a man who lived in the UK most of the time, actually had a close relationship with someone in D City's political scene. No wonder he was so confident.
Before Xin Yu left the office, she could not help but take a few more glances at him. The more scheming this man was, the more dangerous he was.
Mu Chenchu had just finished sorting out the last document from the Human Resources Department when her cell phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and pursed her red lips. After answering the call, she put the phone to her ear and snorted lazily. "Hey, don't tell me you want to treat me to dinner?"
"There's something better than treating you to dinner," Xin Yu said briskly on the other end of the phone, "I think you should be the one treating me to dinner."
"If you want to eat, I'll treat you to dinner every day, my little beauty."
"It's as if your mouth is smeared with honey. Since you've made me so happy, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the company after work. I have good news for you."
Mu Chenchu agreed. It just so happened that someone was looking for her. She arranged to meet Xin Yu after work and hung up the phone.
Xin Yu put away her cell phone and stood at the entrance of the hospital. She raised her hand and looked at her injured wrist. It was already wrapped in a layer of gauze. When she recalled how the nurse had looked at her wound with a fuss just now, Xin Yu felt that she was really — possessed.
She had really asked for trouble by coming to the hospital. Moreover, it was a classic case of asking for trouble!
Just because Qin Fangang said that the paint was still wet and there might be an infection, she had eagerly come to the hospital to apply rubbing alcohol …
Sighing softly, she shook her head and looked at the red light on the sidewalk. Just as she was about to leave, she glanced around and was surprised to see a familiar figure coming out of the hospital.
Xin Yu instinctively stopped in her tracks. In fact, she didn't want to meet her eyes at all. She really just found her by accident, so she took a second look. However, it was already too late to avoid her gaze.
Lan Ruoran had already seen her.
She was carrying a limited edition Louis Vuitton bag in her hand. She was wearing a red woolen jacket, a pair of sapphire blue pants, and a pair of red high heels. Her eyes were especially eye-catching. When she wore it on her curvy figure, it was simply dazzling.
Even if Xin Yu really didn't like Lan Ruoran, she had to admit that she was indeed very beautiful.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to attract Lu Yihan and stay by her side for so many years.
"Ha, I was wondering why City D had become so small."
Lan Ruoran walked over seductively. She was originally about the same height as Xin Yu, but with a pair of high heels on her feet, she was naturally a head taller than Xin Yu. At this moment, she was standing in front of Xin Yu in a completely condescending manner. "Leng Xinyu, you're not here to show off, are you? But this is a hospital, so there aren't any reporters. "
Xin Yu was confused by her strange words, but she wasn't interested in understanding, let alone greeting her. She turned around and prepared to leave. However, Lan Ruoran wasn't going to let that happen. She took a step forward and blocked her path. Her gaze was contemptuous. "What's the rush? You want to leave as soon as you see me? Are you feeling guilty? "
